  2. Configuration

    Remove the runtime PM resume and put calls from the threaded IRQ handler.

    drm/imagination threaded IRQ handler runtime PM resume/put calls = removed
  3. Configuration

    During the GPU power-off sequence, call synchronize_irq() to wait for IRQ handlers running on other CPU cores to finish before suspending the GPU.

    drm/imagination runtime PM suspend callback IRQ synchronization = synchronize_irq()
